Yeah I’ve had mine for roughly the same time. It’s kinda annyoing being anywhere without smart lighting. You have to shut off lights before going to bed, instead of shutting them off after you’ve climbed under the covers.
And having to put on the lights just to go have a piss in the middle of the night? That would wake me up too much. So I just put on a few red low lights to roughly see where things are without waking myself up.
Then again anyone super into privacy wouldn’t probably love these, as as far as I know, having several WiFi using bulbs on the ceiling also means that anyone with access to the data could actually function as movement sensors. So the metadata Hue has about me (or at least could access if they wanted to) would tell them when I’m in bed or in the kitchen or having guests or whatnot. Apparently it’s based on the attenuation of the signal strength and based on those numbers you can “see” the object moving from the signal strength changes.
Oh apparently to use it myself I’d need a Hue Pro Bridge, but they came up with the system on the old one. Now the pro version has an analyser in it so makes it work better.
